Sonam Kapoor's natural skincare secrets
In 2023, when Sonam Kapoor walked the ramp for designer Abhinav Mishra at a fashion show, she opened up about her skincare and haircare routine, revealing that she relies on homemade remedies like ubtan and coconut oil. "I do ubtan…I apply rose water. I use almond and coconut oil for my hair. I use everything that I can think of for my skin. I like to take care of my skin. But the most important thing for Indian girls is to use a lot of sunscreen," Sonam shared.
Earlier, Sonam Kapoor also shared a video on Instagram, revealing her homemade skincare remedies. In the caption, she wrote, “On days I wanna pamper my skin and have no mood to step out, I take things into my own hands! My secret for a no-fuss and hydrating face mask is now yours. Now it’s time you tell me the recipe of some DIY masks you swear by!”
How to make Sonam Kapoor's face mask
Sonam also shared a classic skincare remedy that many Indian women swear by for achieving a natural golden glow—a mask made from a blend of gram flour (besan), sandalwood powder, rose water, milk, and turmeric. Sonam advises applying it to your face, allowing it to dry, and then gently rubbing it off. "It’s amazing. It’s packed with antioxidants, and it works as both a scrub and a mask. It tightens everything, moisturizes your skin, and the lactic acid in milk does wonders. Turmeric is also an antiseptic," Sonam explained in the video, highlighting the natural benefits of this timeless remedy.
